I got violently high and wrote this. That's about it. Hope you enjoy it!

Levi and Eren are both fucked up individuals who are dealing with trauma in their own, unique ways. This fic is honestly just an excuse for me to get back into writing. I haven't been active in the fandom or written since 2019, so I'm nervous. There will be smut. There will be plot.

[sugarplum-senpai]

There’s a special festiveness to finishing a tale as long as Magpie, a beautiful nostalgic feeling that made me want to give it the little extra from the moment I put down the last word. 

Tami. <3 You amaze me each time. I so love what you did with my idea, how you captured both the moment’s intimacy and the glowing celebrations so perfectly, and gave my story the final colour-rich and sparkling bang I envisioned. Thank you so much for your dedication and for being so on board with this project. I’m so much looking forward to working with you again.

Eren’s pulse exults. 

The night is alight. It sparkles in Levi’s eyes, paints his face in reds and greens and gold. 

His knife sinks at his side, his face is in wonder, and he blinks when Eren takes his hand again. 

They look at each other, standing together on the dance floor, and as their faces turn upwards, the explosions are like drums in Eren’s chest. 

There are dreams in the sky. Dreams of green and silver, of life and longing, of laughter and smiles, and Eren wants to touch it, soar in it, and yet he can only do so much as stand in rapture, while their guests’ ooh’s and ah’s mingle with the merry sizzling from above.

— Magpie.

Ereri fic rec!

I’ve been meaning to do this for a while now but finally got to it lmao. All of these are really, really good fics (hence why they are here lol) but I’ve marked my absolute favorites with ***. All of these are from AO3 and are complete. They’re mostly short with a few longer ones mixed in. Enjoy?

***Thank You For The Daisies by suagrplumsensei under 1k, absolute and pure fluff

Levi and Eren are dating.

Since the authorities wouldn’t approve, they are trying to be discreet about it.

taking flight by candycity 1k+, crack, wing!fic

“Touch his wings. I dare you.”

In which Levi has (really pretty) wings, Jean is an asshole and Eren can’t resist a dare.

***Aprés Toi by synergenic (Losseflame) 3k, angst with the smallest hint of fluff, trigger warning for self-harm

Eren can fill the bathtub with his blood twice before he passes out.

(I have to add, this is my favorite favorite ereri fic ever, but a fair warning, it tugs at your heartstrings real bad)

You’re Not The Ordinary Type by chasingthebooty 20k+, fluff

Levi’s a mafia member who has a thing for the cutie who serves out bakery bread and wears short skirts.

***there’s magic between you and me by driedupwishes 1k + 3k, fluff, hogwarts!AU

It made sense to Levi and always had, Eren’s sorting. He didn’t understand why it kept coming up, especially since they were in their sixth year at school, but apparently some people didn’t know when to drop a topic.

And the sequel, everything you do is magic (kiss me once now I can’t leave)

five years time by cottontale 3k+, fluff and humor

Eren hadn’t realized how touchy he was with Levi until he couldn’t touch him anymore.

Or the one where Eren is a touch starved soldier and his Captain accidentally fixes it.

Don’t Let Me Down by SailorHeichou 20k+, kid!fic, mostly fluff

Levi is a twenty-three-year-old runaway raising his six-year-old cousin, Mikasa, after escaping from their abusive alcoholic Uncle several years before.

Now a young man, Levi works two jobs just to support Mikasa and himself. With a string of failed relationships behind him, Levi pours himself into working to make sure Mikasa can live comfortably. With a six-year-old child to support, Levi firmly believes he is better off alone but his friends all think otherwise.

Enter Eren Jaeger. It’s love at first sight but Levi stubbornly refuses to act on his feelings. Can Hanji and their friends, including one very attractive Eren Jaeger, convince Levi that it’s okay for him to try to be happy despite his broken past?

Nape by ryuusea 4k+, PWP (had to get one of these in here lmao)

Levi wonders if it is ironic or just pure coincidence that Eren’s weakest spot is the back of his neck. He licks one, two stripes across that exposed nape, then another up, then down, reveling in how this always turns Eren into a keening mess in his arms.

***An Unlikely Alliance by Moonsoon 110k+, slow build-ish, fluff

When Scouting Legions main trading partner, Wall Maria, is experiencing economic strain from constant attacks by the neighboring kingdom Titan, the leaders of the two nations come to an agreement: Scouting Legion will provide military protection in exchange for land and financial aid for the still growing nation.

Their new alliance will be sealed with the union of King Jaegar’s son Eren to the Scouting legions strongest soldier, Lance Corporal Levi. But how will the cold, impassive soldier warm to his new husband, who is far from the weak, spoiled princess he was expecting?

***Guardian Angel by artenon 3k+, wing!fic, fluff-ish?

He’d been in this same situation before, not too long ago, except now he was the one chained up and behind bars. And, fuck, did it hurt, because these were the two comrades he trusted the most, and Erwin was looking at him with a guarded, wary expression, and Hange was staring at him with the light of science in her eyes, analyzing him like he was one of her experiments.

(I absolutely adore this writer I would fetch the moon for them. If you’re even remotely interested in Haikyuu, I would highly recommend to check out their Kurotsukki fics as well!)

Want by artenon 1k+, fluff

Eren sits on the edge of the bed. Levi waits for him to lie down next to him so they can sleep, but Eren just continues to stare at the floor. He looks like he’s working up the nerve to say something, so Levi waits patiently, and sure enough, Eren turns to him a minute later and opens his mouth.

“Have you ever thought about sex?”

they say that an end can be a start by uro_boros 2k+, fluff i quess?

“But I recognize the signs of someone who’s running away from something.”

Eren’s head tilts on his shoulder, craning back to look at Levi. “Why?” he says, the line of his mouth dark and unamused. “You running from something?”

(or the one where Eren’s homeless and Levi’s neurotic. They make it work)

***Fairy Tales by surveycorpsjean 50k+, slow build-ish, ModernPrince!Au, mostly fluff

Eren is found discouraged and homeless, when he is offered a job as a maid by a stranger. He does the one thing he tells himself not to do; fall in love with the prince.

The (Last) Name Of The Game by missmichellebelle youtuber!Au, pure fluff

“Hey guys, Jaegerbomb here, and, due to very high demand—like, actually, I’m a little floored by how many of you were asking me for this—I give you the much anticipated… Boyfriend tag!”

What’s New, Pussycat? by Lucyndareads 30k, Cat!Levi, basically crack, fluff and smut in a pretty package

Apparently Eren is now living with a neurotic, possessive, clean freak, shapeshifting cat man.

Kinky.

Another Time, Another Place by appleapple 50k, angst-ish with little fluff

The one where they have to pretend to be married.

***Moments Of Grace by orphan_account 20k+, angst, kid!fic

“It’s not going to be an easy road,” Levi said, “but the right path never is. Do you regret taking custody? Do you regret your daughter?”

“No!” Eren said, anger flashing across his face.

“Good. Remember that on the days when you’re struggling.”

My Home Is Where Your Heart is by bfketh 15k, kid!fic, fluff, light angst

Single father Levi is left scrambling to find an after school daycare for his daughter, Mikasa, when his regular babysitter announces that her husband’s job is being relocated. The only problem - they’re all far more expensive than he can afford.

The solution to his dilemma comes in the form of a college student, Eren, who will do it for a fraction of the cost - as long as Levi will save him from a steady diet of ramen and pop-tarts by feeding him dinner every night before he leaves.

Darkest Before Dawn by ellewrites 3k, angst

Levi wasn’t sure how long he’d been asleep when he was torn from the endless darkness of his mind by a deep, disturbing groan. Eren’s body jerked roughly, his nails digging painfully into Levi’s upper arm. Levi was disoriented for a moment as he sat up, unsure of what was happening. Eren dug his fingers in harder, a sob caught in his throat as he begged – “Please don’t go.”

***This Charming Man (series) by Plexus (toitsu) combined: 4k+, angst, angst, angst

Eren Yeagar is a problematic high school student who is faced with expulsion unless he enrolls into some kind of community service program. Since he is not that stupid, thank you very much, he decides to go with it.

The program he’s enrolled into puts high schoolers to work in the homes of elderly and disabled people who don’t have any family or friends, helping them with housekeeping, errands and suchlike. No big deal. He expects to end up cleaning house for some sweet little elderly lady with a lot of cats, or at worst a crotchety grandpa.

He doesn’t expect Levi.

Home Sweet Home (series) by ferric combined: 15k+, kid!fic, (if you’re looking for heavy Ereri I wouldn’t recommend this one as it mostly focuses on young!Eren)

Levi raising a young Eren.

***Chasing Disaster by freshia 4k, fluff, a bit of humor

Eren crashes into Levi’s life. Literally. And he takes out a fence and a mailbox along the way.

A Tenuous Third Space by artenon 14k, fluff

In which Attack on Titan is the MMORPG they all play, and Eren meets Levi online.

Ashes by scarrletmoon 1k+, angst, reincarnation!Au

Levi is a former criminal who has recently been released from prison. Eren is in his final year of high school when the two finally meet.

Little Titan Cafe by pocketsizedtitan 65k+ slow build, fluff

Just another cliche AU in which Eren works as a barista in his mother’s café, specializing in latte art. And then there’s Levi, who’s not exactly your typical patron, because, well, he’s blunt and rude (which Eren supposes isn’t that much different from regular customers) but mostly he just confuses Eren’s poor little homosexual heart.

***Playing Favorites by Ketita 6k+, pure tooth-rotting fluff

In which Levi seems determined to spoil Eren rotten, whether he likes it or not.

(For the record, Eren hadn’t expected his confession to lead to this sort of thing at all).

***The October Story by angstwithtea 55k, fluuuff, cat!levi

It all started on October first. The day that Eren found that strange little cat alone in the street outside the thrift store. Everything afterwards might have been coincidental. Or fate. Some might say that crossing paths with a black cat is bad luck. But for Eren, things weren’t so certain. In fact, finding that cat may have been the best thing that ever happened to him.

Help Me Stand by ichigoangel 170k+, heavy angst, please read the trigger warnings

Eren’s best childhood friend and high school boyfriend, Armin, dies in a car accident in which Eren had been the one at the wheel. Unable to keep from blaming himself, life itself becomes agonizing for Eren and he turns to the more negative side of coping mechanisms. Eventually, he meets a college student named Levi who seems like he has it all figured out, just to discover that they have more in common than he thought. Modern!AU.

Also, Levi has a motorcycle because it was definitely necessary.

***Shattered Façade by kylar 40k+, heavy angst, trigger warnings for domestic abuse, self-harm and cheating

After being disowned by his homophobic father during his senior year of high school, Eren’s only option was to move in with his boyfriend, Reiner. But Reiner soon became possessive and controlling of Eren, and it turned into an abusive relationship. Five years later, Reiner’s control over Eren is complete, until one night they meet a detective who will shatter Eren’s happy façade.

Trompe-l'œil by appleapple 10k+, angst and a whole lot of misunderstandings

He has never minded the bitterness at the bottom of the cup

The Misanthrope by kazuma85 25k+, fluff and angst

The story is set in an AU world where Eren was only a child when the humanity won against Titans. When he’s fifteen, he meets Levi, humanity’s introverted hero, who is not exactly the kind of person people believe he is.

Here I am making a recommendation list and only about six years after everyone has already stopped shipping them.This list is not yet completed and it probably never will be because I’m a huge procrastinator (If you can’t tell) so I'm constantly adding fanfiction to this list.

All these fan-fictions can be read here at https://archiveofourown.org/users/ but you can also immediately be taken to the page by clicking on the underlined title of the fan fiction.

The loss of his mother at his father's hands, along with the brutal treatment he received for his sexuality, as well as repeated failures in all aspects of his life have left him hollow and broken. Though he had tried before to end his life and failed, with a fistful of pills and the knowledge that his friends are gone for the weekend, Eren was sure that this time he would succeed. At the last moment he hesitated. His only regrets would be leaving Mikasa and Armin behind, and never confessing his feelings to the owner of the bookstore he works at.

He has been given permission to legally stalk his idol, center forward for the Scouts, Levi Ackerman! Levi Ackerman is a famous soccer player, and the object of millions of girls' and guys' wet dreams. For Levi, the life of a celebrity is nothing to complain about. He can walk into any bar and leave with his choice of men to take home. And with a sexual appetite that can rival that of a porn star, this is a benefit of stardom he takes full advantage of. The only problem is, it's hard to keep secrets when constantly under a spotlight. What the world doesn't know is that he's gay, and he's determined to keep it that way. Levi struggles to keep his deep, dark secret out of the public knowledge, but a certain green-eyed brat is making that exceptionally difficult.

Raging Fic Recs GOAT

Give up on your dreams and die ... about writing a fic that tops this one. An AU about life in a backwater Virginia town in the 90s that has over 37k Hits and 10k Kudos, 1994 by Vee is the Greatest of All Time. Everything about this story rings authentic, from the music the kids listen to, to the language they use, all the way down to the shitty cars they drive and the fast food they eat.

I love how the characterizations, even in a modern, realistic setting, are spot on with Eren being an earnest loser, Mikasa being mature beyond her years, and Armin being the glue holding them all together. Even Jean is recognizable as a smarmy jock/rich kid with a good heart. It's like the characters from the manga took off their ODM gear and put on super wide jeans and flannels to time travel straight into an episode of My So-Called Life. But only if My So-Called Life had drag shows, gay sex, and hot closeted Vice Principal Erwin Smith.

But the most appealing character in this fic is Levi - as always, he's the tragic underdog that survives and finds purpose. This author digs deep into Levi's backstory, his choices, and his regrets and motivations and it is sublime. Levi's story with Erwin has that star-crossed pathos that makes SnK so compelling, and hell yes, the sexy times are scorching. The real surprise here is the subtle Eruri to Ereri shift, shaped by the funny, sweet dialogue in the scenes Levi and Eren share. Don't get it twisted - Eren's awkwardness and glaring social missteps fuel many plot arcs, but we get to watch in real time as Levi processes Eren barging in on his shitty life. This fic is equal parts cringe and perfection, which is an accurate way to sum up the high school experience. Go on, read 1994 and try to convince me otherwise.

P.S. If anyone knows if Vee is still writing and publishing, please DM me because I am now a fan for life.

Summer has been a roller-coaster for me (without entering into too much details), irl life has been kicking my ass every day the past few months and I didn’t want to give you an half-assed answer just to reply quickly to you. I hope you’re still around and forgive me for the very delayed answer!

Also thank you so much for following me for a while and sending me this ask!! It’s really nice to know some people have been sticking around with me for some time, I’m always happy to interact with you guys! ♥

Back to the main topic now ;) It’s a really tough question because I read LOTS of Ereri/Riren fanfics and there are so many good ones out there, so many talented people, aaahhhh!!! So this is a non-exhaustive list because damn there are just too many I love (the order is random):

Hello! I’m going to be posting little fanfic recs. They will be based on what I’ve read myself. Feel free to submit an ask if you’re looking for something specific.

These will be in a more ramble, personal fashion because I mainly just want a place to talk about my favorite fics.

It shouldn’t be a surprise when Eren kisses him. Shouldn’t be a surprise when Levi finds himself abandoning all last shreds of pretence and returning it with fervour. It shouldn’t be, because of all the unspoken admissions that have been left to develop between them for so long, the weighty tension and unsatisfyingly perpetual prospect of more. Somehow, it still is.
Levi and Eren have three weeks to figure themselves out. Manga Spoilers up to Chap 105.

…inhales deep to scream my love for this… …ends up whimpering a garbled stream of gibberish…

Dear @littleskrib​. No matter how often I try forming words to put here to express my joy and thanks for this, my brain goes blank, and I zone out beaming at them like the proverbial moron every single time. There is a puddle on the floor, and that is me. I have reduced to an amoeba, and there’s just no way to function any longer. 

So have this: Thank you, so endlessly, for this beautiful, beautiful piece of fanart for Magpie. Every time I look at this, my heart still skips like it did the first time you showed me the lineart, and I just can’t even! <3 

They are marvellous.

Snowflakes glisten on Eren’s flushed cheeks. His mane is an untied wet mess. His breath puffs in ragged big clouds, mingling with Levi’s own. His lips look like ripe berries in summer. 

Their trousers are soaked with frosty water. The snow is gnawing at Levi’s knees and shins. The chill bites in his lungs. Making his foot ache, his toes numb. 

They should go back so he can dress Eren into dry clothes. So he can warm Eren up with some tea, and yet Levi can’t bring himself to move. 

Equally unwilling to stand, Eren holds his gaze, brushing a strand out of Levi’s brow. He gulps, his raspy whisper sounding clear in the surrounding silence. “You look beautiful under the sky. Like you were made for it.”

I used to think we wanted the same thing, but I don’t think I ever knew

Reincarnation AUs

Flight (When None Pursueth) by mongoose_bite

By the time Eren is seventeen, he's a mess. He gets into fights, therapy just pisses him off, and he's sick and tired of endless dreams about dying friends. He's a got a family, but he remembers a different family, and a mother who died and he remembers failing, over and over again, to save people.

And then one of those people turns up in Eren's hometown, and nothing can ever be the same again.

No Such Thing As Fate by mysecretfanmoments

“You forgot,” he said, with a tone of sudden clarity. “Ah. So that’s why you called me captain.”

Reincarnation AU in which Eren and Levi never established a relationship in that other life. (background pairings: Erwin x Marie, Armin with past feelings for Annie)

Mad World by StarChaser93

He knew he wasn't crazy, he knew they were real.

With every dream or nightmare or vision, they came to life, the people he'd known in a past life.

He remembered the Titan's and the war and all the death that had surrounded him. He remembered his friends and his soldiers but most of all he remembered one face. One Person.

A boy with bright green eyes and a force of will to be reckoned with.

He knew Eren was real.

And he would find him.

My Little Lover by Dreamy_Heichou

After running away from home because of a fight with his father, Eren finds himself trapped in a cave in the middle of a storm. When he wakes up the next morning, he realizes he has shrunk in size as Levi comes to find him. Despite their broken friendship, they'll try to find a way to give Eren his normal size back. They'll soon find that the key to his mysterious predicament resides in an old legend they heard as children, about giant naked men and two brave soldiers who fought together to obtain peace and freedom.

"I always felt like there was something missing in my life, a piece of the puzzle I couldn’t find that left me with a hole in my heart,” Eren looked at their laced fingers and smiled. “And it wasn’t these memories; it was us.”

Our Dreams Have Grown Apart by nekojita

Everyone is born with a mark on their upper chest that will eventually become a name. A name of someone who was important to them in a past life. It can be a loved one, a family member, a best friend, a 'soul mate'. Someone of significance in that past life and also in their current one - be it romantic or platonic. But someone of 'significance' can also be someone who hurt you, who tore you apart physically, mentally and/or emotionally. Someone you've wanted to have another life just for a chance at revenge. There's always two sides to a coin, and bearing a name doesn't always mean a happy ending.

Levi and Eren bear each other's names. Levi has waited over half his life to meet Eren, to meet the man he believes to be his long-lost lover. What happens when their paths cross... and Eren's dreams have led him to believe that Levi's 'name' is one of those that is a curse to bear?
